- Estimate the number of steps you would have to take to walk a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. (We estimate that the length of a step for an average person is about 18 inches, or roughly 0.5 m. The radius of the Earth is 6.38 x 106 m.) 105 steps 108 steps 1011 steps 1015 steps O 1020 stepsStill think that unit conversion isn't important? Here is a widely publicized, true story about how failing to convert units resulted in a huge loss. In 1998, the Mars Climate Orbiter probe crashed into the surface of Mars, instead of entering orbit. The resulting inguiry revealed that NASA navigators had been making minor course corrections in SI units, whereas the software written by the probe's makers implicitly used British units. In the United States, most scientists use Sl units, whereas most engineers use the British, or Imperial, system of units. (Interestingly, British units are not used in Britain.) For these two groups to be able to communicate to one another, unit conversions are necessary. The unit of force in the SI system is the newton (N), which is defined in terms of basic Sl units as 1 N=1 kg · m/s?. The unit of force in the British system is the pound (lb), which is defined in terms of the slug (British unit of mass), foot (ft), and second (s) as 1 lb =1 slug ·…the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?

The diameter of a helium nucleus, 0.000 000 000 000 003 8 m. _____ x 10 ^___mA bacteria colony which is unrestricted in its growth will grow out in a circular manner. The population ?(?) of the colony at time t is directly proportional to the area of the circle. Suppose that a particular bacteria grows in such a way that the population is 1.3 times larger each day, and that initially (t=0) the colony has a diameter of 4 centimeter and a population of 7 million. a) Find the Population and Diameter of the colony on the fifth day. b) Find the Rate of Change of the Population and Diameter of the colony on the fifth day. c) Unrestricted growth models are often impractical as values will quickly become unreasonable. On what day does our model predict that the area of the bacteria colony will be 1 square mile?I have tried 16.7x10^3, 16.7x10^4, and 1.365x10^8 and those are all wrong for the first part. I know that the second part is 14.3 hr. I need to know the km/s. Thank you!!
